Depth-stop Drill Bits

About This Item

Stop breaking off small screws! When that little tuner mounting screw breaks off, you'll wish you'd used the right size drill bit!

Here's a versatile 7-piece mini bit set for avoiding catastrophes when you're installing tuners, pickguards, string trees, truss rod covers, pickup rings, and more. The closely spaced sizes let you choose exactly the right bit, a must for installing diabolically small screws in hardwoods such as maple, ebony and rosewood. As a bonus, each bit is color-coded with a handy movable plastic depth stop (you don't want to accidentally drill completely through your peghead, do you?)

SAVE when you order the complete set of 7

Here's a tip from our R&D luthiers:
If a depth stop sleeve loosens over time, remove it and put a little #10 thin super glue inside. Turn the sleeve to coat the inside evenly and tighten the inside diameter. Not too much glue—don't clog the sleeve. Apply a little paste wax to the bit and push it through the sleeve. You can spray a dash of super glue accelerator for a faster glue cure. The depth stop will fit like new again!

Customer Reviews

Too Easy

Use the number 50 to drill holes for tuning machines, and also bought Stewmac's cutting lubricant to avoid stripping the screws which I am prone to do. The combination of these two make installing tuners really easy. Great tool.

Wish I could buy just the stops

These are a great idea. I don't use them for guitar work, but for fine woodworking. The only problem is that the plastic material cracks way before the drill bit needs replacing. I would love it if I could just buy the stops to replace the ones that crack, instead of having to purchase the whole stop and bit combination.
